Mason Wallace Moseley is an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at West Virginia University. His research focuses on comparative political behavior and subnational politics, particularly in the Latin American context. His work has appeared in Electoral Studies and The Journal of Politics, and his current book project entitled Contentious Democracy: The Rise of the Protest State in Latin America seeks to explain swelling rates of contention in the region through an interactive theory focusing on trends in citizen engagement and institutional quality. This book manuscript draws on cross-national survey data and a case study of Argentina, which is based on fieldwork supported by the National Science Foundation.
